The Art of Wah

The command of large army tasks the resources of the greatest mind. It is one of the highest of human achieve ments, and by common consent the first rank of fame is accorded to the great generals. To move an army and to feed it on the march requires a higher order of generalship than to fight it. Thirty hours without supplies would reduce the best army to helpless mass of disorganized humanity. Food for the men, forage for the animals must not only be provided, but must be at the precise spot when wanted. Napoleon, the great master of the art of war, had a score of nlarshals, any one of whom could fight a great battle, and scarce one of whom could lead an army on the march. An army on the march resembles nothing so much as an enormous serpent, stretched out mile upon mile, and moving, alert and watchful, with steady and irresistible force. Let danger threaten and it hastily coils itself together and prepares to avert or overcome the danger. Shrunk to a fraction of its former dimensions. it shows its fangs and is ready for attack or defense. The danger overpast, the great mass unfolds its coils again and stretches out its huge proportions in progressive movement. The brain of this mighty animal the supreme mind that controls its every motion, is the general in chief. Chicago Herald.

somethInr About Big cana1s,


 A British engineer named Boyd, who has visited the Panama canal, and since his return has read Q paper before the En- ginecr5' society ct London, reports that the excavation will go slower iii the future than in the past. He thinks for the rest of the work 2.200, ,00Q, 00Cf. and twelve years of time will be required thai is to say, $40, ,OG0, GOO, in addition to what has already been sunk. Long before that time the Nicaragua canal ought to ovcrtakc Dc Lcsseps' enterprise, to say nothing of bankruptcy.

knling the Raciln of consumntion.

The method Bergeon's) has, up to the present, been used upon about 100 cases in this city without any untoward effects, so far as known, except in one or two in- stances, one of which was due t6 leaky bag and another to incorrect administra- tiOn.
 It is, perhaps, too soon to decide posi- lively on the therapeutic value of the new method, but it seems, in the experience in this city, to have the special quality of diminishing night sweats and improving the appetite.
 In Bergeon's cases, the trihing expec- torations of those apparently practically cured continued to contain bacili. This fact may be taken both for an indication that the immediate danger in phthisis is less from the bacili than from the septic Bemia which they set up, and as an indi- cation that this protective treatment, when successful, should not be discon- tlhued until the general healthiness of the tissues is sufficiently restored to resist the further development and sustenance of the bacillus tuberculosis Philadelphia PolVclinic,

Women with Bad Figures.

Mrs. Jenness Miller, who is trying to reform woman's dress, is very handsome and perfect specimen of the healthful- ness of the system she advocates. Jn con- versation with reporter the other day she told some curious facts about the physical dcformity. of her sex, caused by tic corset and other methods that the Nineteenth century calls fashion. She said:
 ''I was in Turkish bathroom not long ago and noticed the physical appearance of some forty or fifty fashionable women young, middle aged and old. Out of that number I did not see a perfect shaped figure. Those who were young doubtless inherited their physical de- ffciencies, and were assisting to further mar their unnatural proportions by wear ing corsets. Men do not dream that such malformation exists among the women, but picture them from the illusivc idea conveyed by seeing them dressed in the ex- tTeme of fashion. Some of these women had small waists, others had cramped. pinched feet, and the majority were suffering from the torturing practice of tight lacing. None of them moved around with free and easy tread and buoyant elasticity They were slow and sluggish in their movements and eyi- dently ayerse to any kind of exertion be- yond the mere necessity of walking. 1 was surprised, for I thought that some women were so strong and robust that naturally they would escape the curse of fashions decrees. Reclining on couch after the bath heard young lady next to me exclaim in conversation to third lady that she would not marry Mir. So- and-so because he was not robust. Then in the next sentence she said she suffered from asthma and was somewhat subject to hysteria. I turned over and gazed at the woman who didn't want to marry a man because he was not apparently strong. She was pale, thin and delicate looking, the very woman a man would not care to select for wife, unless he wanted to start hospital at home. "- New York Mail and Express.

Patrons of the Turkish Baths.

One would think from the effect which Turkish baths are generally supposed to have that they would be taken chiefly by stout mon, but it is a remarkable fact that the greatest number of bathers arc anything but obese, and that some of them are even cadaverously lean. The use of the baths has become very gen eral in tho past few years, and they are now regarded as a necessity rather than luxury by large class of people. Most of the patrons are men in perfect health, though some few are treated for specific ailments. The Bhampooers know rheu- matic man as soon as they lay their hands on him, and find themselves un- usually fatigucd after rubbing him, while the effect of working on one who has a great deal of electricity in him is to re- fresh them, even after they have done a hard days work.-Globe-D Democrat.

4 City in Pink.

We are astonished and highly pleased with view of an entire city in pink-the oldest and at the same time one of the most pleasing sights imaginable. In front Of us was a perfectly smooth street no feet wide and two miles long, running straight away to a similar gate at tke other end, and bordered on each side by many colored palaces and dwellings, with columns and towers, some with and some without balconies, but all of a delicate rose red color, relieved here and there with figures or stripes of white. Never had seen anything of the kind before, and the effect was certainly beautiful. wen does Jcypore deserve its appellation or "Ihe Beautiful City of India" When the background was formed of the forti- ned hills about the town, this color was a light red, but when only the clear blue sky was in the background it became a delicate pink, giving one the impression or pink coral city just rising from the sea.-Cor. Baltimore American.

A PENNSYLVANIA pENITENrlARY.

Chat with the Warden of the Eastern
 Division"-Frank Opinions.
 It might have been with view to dis miss me with his blessing only that the warden was about to place in my hand a statistical book with respect to the insti- tuition. l checked him in this design and frankly told him 1 did not come to the prison for such material. "What I would like, " said I, ''is to go through the prison, see and talk with the prisoners and write more as to the romance of crime rather than the statistics of it. ''
 I will never forget the look he gave me. With lis cold, gray eye fixed upon me, he said: "There is no romance in crime. Nor is there any honor among thieves: Both are fallacies. The man who will cheat you willrheat me, Thieves do not trust one another. When they commit a burglary conjointly, one goes into the house with another to prevent the burying of the swag."
 Having thus put the auger into my im- mobile for the nonce commander I said:
 "What makes the criminal classes, any way?'
 ''Born in 'cm," " he said, crustily.
 "What per cent. of crime, g said, ''is inhereDt?'' ,---
 His answer almost dazed me, when it came:
 '.Sinety per cent" / ''Do you mean, I continued '.that 90 per cent of the criminal class is born vicious?''
 "That's what mean, !" he said. "It is part of their birthright. They are criminals because they can't help it. We have men in this prison to-day who are serving a fourth term"
 How as to their illiteracy?" sug- gested.
 "Well, all are not illiterate," he said. "There are a class of criminals who must be otherwise. Take the bank note count erfeiter, the forger and the more auda- cious set, and they have fair intelligence and education"
 "How many of them have trades?" l asked.
 ''Not 10 per cent. :" he said. "f sa with credit, but few mechanics are rer committed here. The philosophy of this1 is that if the mind is occupied the t1ipS tation to commit crime is reduced te the minimum"
 Turning the subject in another channel, I said: MT. Cassidy, won't you tell me the exploits of some of thefamous crimi- nals committed to your qare? Tell me of what they have beenf convicted and something of their antecedents.
 q will not" he said firmly. ''It is against the rules of the trison. When men are committed here ySe,protcct them from all publicity. They S04not even know CT see one another, so thatewhea they go out they go with the conscious ness that the world is open to them to do right rather than wroEg. Suppose Eow, ;" he continued, q should lehearse to you the recital of the crimes which men have committed and who are now confined within these walls. It might make newspaper sensation, but you must re- member that many of these men have families. It brings scandal upon them, makes homes unhappy and serve no good purpose.

Others had paid him small sums, and In
